In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until combined after each. Stir in the dry ingredients and crushed candies.

Drop dough using a tablespoon cookie scoop onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake 8-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool for 1 minute and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.

To prepare the glaze

In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and enough root beer to thin, making a glaze that flows well enough to drizzle. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with additional crushed candies, if desired.
